Many autonomous mobile robots use SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) technology to determine their position and map their surroundings. Here is how this technology works, the hardware and software components it relies on, and its advantages and limitations.
Early radar level sensors were expensive, bulky and sometimes complex to implement. Advances in radio technology have made them increasingly compact, high-performing and versatile over the years, while also bringing their cost down.
NEXCOM highlights safety technologies designed to support the reliable deployment of quadruped and humanoid robots in demanding industrial environments, helping improve human-robot collaboration and operational safety.
Learn how an AI-powered, sensorless approach can prevent unexpected downtime, reduced reliability, and higher maintenance costs caused by industrial belt damage.
Laser scanners, encoders and other safety controllers are essential for autonomous mobile robots (AMRs). They enable them to map their environment and navigate safely.
